Introducing
themes such as landscape, architecture and the passage of time;
documentation and reiteration; and trauma and the uncanny, the curators
highlight works by artists such as Tacita Dean, An-My Lê, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, and
others. Haunted
reveals how much of contemporary photography and video seems haunted by
the past, by ghostly apparitions that are reanimated in reproductive
media, in live performance, and in the virtual world. In discussing the
exhibition, Jennifer Blessing, Curator of Photography says, "We
are specifically interested in how technologies like photographs show
us the past in the present; they seem to haunt us because we see so
viscerally today what happened in the past."

Interviews
with selected artists Sarah Charlesworth, Karl Haendel, Sarah Anne
Johnson, and Susan Philipsz provide further insight into their work
and its inclusion within Haunted’s framework.
